A BabyIonfan Expedition,

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 18.-During the past week Dr. Peters has been active in raising the necessary funds for the proposed Babylo- nian expedition to start about the beginning of the year. The greater part of the $50, 900 needed has been subscribed and competent men are being looked for to undertake the work under the direction of Dr. Peters. The original plan is te proceed to Sepharvaium or Persepolis and begin excavations there, but it is the opinion of Dr. Hilprecht, the emil nent Assyrian specialist, that the expedition should proceed first to Babylonia itself since the Assyrian culture and civilization was only an offshoot of the Babylonian, the latter being of greater importance in the study of history and science. It is probable this sug- gestion will somewhat modify the plans of Dr. Peters. The expedition is entirely under the auspices of the University of Pennsylva- nia and is to be composed mostly of Phila- delphia Assyriolcgists and scientists.

BADLY INJURED.
Daniel Loder is Run Over by d
Loaded Wagon.

About Is minutes after nine Friday
morning, Daniel Loder, of North Lau-
rel street, met with a very serious
accident. He had been employed with
his mule team in carting at the exten-
sion of the New Jersey Southern rail
road. At the time above mentioned,
he was seated upon a load of plank,
driving his mules, when the wagon
wheel struck stump, throwing Mr..
Loder off in front of the wheels. The
mules started to run away, and both
wheels of the heavy wagon. loaded
with lumber, passed over his body just
above the abdomen. His legs were
also run over. He fell across deep
rut, and the weight of the wagon bore
him into it.
Willing hands picked him up, and
he was taken to his home by John
Frazeur, in cart. DIR. John Bowen
was summoned, and Immediately re-
sponded. He found Mr.. Loder in
great pain, and injected morphine
into his side to quiet him. He found
that there were no bones broken, but
the patient had sustained severe in
ternal injuries. 1t was with great diff
Guilty that he could spread his legs
apart. An ugly bruise on his back
was also found. The physician did
what he could for the sufferer, and
about noon he was reported as rest
ing easier.
The mules continued to run until
they were stopped by coming in con-
tact with number of carriers. John
Garrison brought the team home.
Mr.. Loder retained consciousness,
and although suffering greatly COM
plains but little. He seems to think
he is very badly hurt, and expressed
himself to a friend that he hardly
thought he would recover. The sym
pathy of the community is extended to
Mr.. Loder and his many friends join
with us in wishing him a speedy re-
coyery.

SHOOTING CASE.
Two Salem County Colored
Men indulge in a Shoot
ing Scrape.

On Friday night, He'll Neck, Salem
county, was the scene of shooting
affray. Two colored men for some time
pasthave been quarreling over a woman
and from the meagre details we give
the following:
The names of the principals are Ed
Smith and one Valentine. On Friday
Smith was buying some things from a
woman when Valentine came along and
shot him in the head with apistol. This
failed to do the deadly work intended
and another shot was fired, which took
effect in his ribs. Smith then went off
and tried to find a gum declaring he
would shoot his assailant. Not being
able to find gun, he seized an axe and
started out to kill Valentine. Before
he found him, however, he tainted
from loss of blood. Valentine was ar
rested and taken to Salem Jail by Con-
stable Carney.
Smith was taken to his home and
put under the charge of a physician.
One informant says it is hardly likely
that Smith can recover The bullet in
his side gives him considerable trouble.
Valentine will not be admitted to bail
until the result of Smiths wounds is
known.

GOULD COMMITTED.
Alex. Gould held in $4,000
Bail.

The hearing of Alex Gould, who
shot his wife on Saturday night week,
took place Thursday at the Court
House. Justice of the Peace Riley
conducted the proceedings. Lawyer
VanSyckle appealed for Gould. Alex.
was brought in and plead not guilty.
His face wore troubled expression, and
he continually bit his lips. The hole
made by the bullet in his neck was
plainly seen. His wife sat near him.
Her wound was covered with a veil.
Joanna Gould was the first witness
called She stated that Gould fol-
lowed her and Adeline Clark from the
residence of DIR. Kirby to Jefferson
street. He said he wanted to see her,
alone, as he did not want to tell
the public his business. When they
were on Jefferson street, Gould ran
behind her and caught her He asked
her for fifty cents he had given her.
She was about giving it to him when
he knocked her down and shot three
DlIIloS dU lltI Ilt biiSH oudl oCo w iul
and she got up to run. He, seeing
she was not hurt, turned and fired two
more shots at her, the last one taking
effect. She stated that she had been
married to Gould seven years and had
one child, boy, eight years old.
Since last Spring she had not lived
with him. She admitted that he was
jealous of her, and that was the cause
of all the trouble.
G. K. Dare, was called, and stated
that he was in Squire Riley's Office on
the evening of the shooting and heard
a scream and a report from pistol.
He ran out and saw Gould standing
over his wife, who was lying prostrate.
Gould stepped up and leveled the
pistol at Mr.. Dare and made two at
tempts to shoot him. He then stepped
from the gutter and made several in
effectual attempts to shoot himself.
John Garrison was also a witness to
the shooting, and gave testimony that
was substantially the same as the
others.
After the testimony Mr., VanSyckle
made plea for light bail for the
accused and said that $500 was suffi
cient. The Squire thought differently,
however, and he was held in $500 bail
for his appearance at Court.

Mrs. Ellen Foster, of Iowa Ga leading
member of the w. G. 7. ID has re-
Gently been eloquently discoursing to
large assemblies in Philadelphia, upon
the subject of temperance, and in one
of her addresses uttered the following
which is worthy of consideration:
The Prohibition party, as political
factor as method of temperance work
is wrong on the political theory on
which it is based, in the arguments
used in its advocacy and is disastrous
to prohibition and the general alinterests
of the temperance cause.
This party method is an unwise di-
version of political force, a menace to
republican institutions and an abnega-
ton of self-government and majority
rule. This Third party regularly and
Systematically opposes the election. OF
temperance men in the old parties,
and in many instances has this op-
position sent to the halls of legislation
the avowed supporters of the liquor
traffic.

fellow arrived at Centreton and pro-
ceeded to make arrangements to start
a shirt factory. He rented a place
and engaged board. Sixty dollars
mysteriously disappeared from his
landlord, but he was not suspected.
He had said that his machinery would
arrive tomorrow. On Sunday he left
the town on an afternoon train. The
hotel landlord, after he had gone, dis
covered that gold watch and twenty
dollars had been stolen from his house.
The town is greatly excited.

A State in Good Standing.

The State Treasurer's report for 1886

culated. The year ended Oct 81, 1886.
The State fund report shows that the
receipts for the year were ST, ,30z z0SS. As,
which with $S1, ,266.46 left over from
1886, makes 81, 1856, ,354.92, and the dis
bursements 1,262, ,95O44. This leaves
balance in bank of $115, ,404.4S.
The receipts for the school fund dur
ing the year were $706, $500. The
disbursements $551, 1,529S5.
The income from secureties of the
Agricultural College fund was Sc, $50, 90.
The disbursements were the same

The President has not yet sent to
the Senate the name of the next Post
master of Bridgeton, but the indica-
tions are that AL. Laning is to be the
man. 1t may happen, however, that
neither of the applicants will be
chosen, because of the heat which has
been engendered between the candi-
dates. If Laning gets it, Mr.. Kienzle's s
friends will feel grieved; if Mr.. Kienzle
secures it, Laning's friends will rebel.
In the meantime the community
awaits the result with interest.

There was considerable excitement
at Red Bank in November last when it
was found that Mrs. S. B. West had
eloped with Fred S. Rockwell, a mar
ried man. Rockwell was manager of
the local branch of the New York Tea
Company, whose money he took with
him. The pair were brought back
from Kansas by detectives employed
conformity by Mr.. West and the tea
company. Rockwell was put in JAIL
and Mrs. West went to live with her
relatives. After while Rockwell was
bailed out and had the impudence tc
visit Mrs. West again, who was living
with her mother, This was discovered
by Mr.. West and party was orga-
nized to tar and feather the gay 10th
ario, who however, managed to escape.
After while the clamor of Mr.. Vests S
three children for their mother affected
a reconciliation. They sold their prop
erty for $1,000 and about two weeks
ago went to live in New York. Here
all went smoothly until Monday, when,
on Mr.. West returning home, he found
his children, but no wife; also that she
had drawn the $1,000 from the bank,
and, in fine that she had eloped with
Rockwell the second time and fed to
Canada.

The Vineland Journal tells of an
amusing incident. On Saturday even
ing two young ladies borrowed some
male attire and started out after a
conquest. A number of susceptible
young maidens fell under their darting
glances and We're made the victims of
many jokes, which were afterward ex-
planned much to the chagrin of the
aforesaid young ladies. But the worse
joke of it all was that the young ladies
failed to return the suits borrowed of
the young men in time for them to
attend church on Sunday morning.

BOLD ROBBERY
Harris Ogden is Robbed of
$50 worth Of Clothing.

The first of January man, giving
the name of John Bristol, approached
Harris Ogden, the well-known milk
man, Of Fairfield township, and asked
for employment. Mr.. Ogden seeing
the man was in rather destitute cir
cumstances took compassion upon
him and gave him employment. Since
that time he has worked upon the
farm, giving entire satisfaction.
While living with Mr.. Ogden he related
many startling adventures in which he
had played a prominent part. He has
been at various times living among
farmers about Greenwich, among the
number being John Mulford, of that
place.
All went well, but little attention
being paid to his stories. On Sunday
last he took particular, pains to shave
off his beard and moustache, making
his face perfectly bare. Monday
morning he arose with the men to
milk the cows and get Mr. Ogden off
on the route. This was about four
o'clock. After this is done the men
usually go back to bed and sleep until
about six or half-past. Bristol did not
retire with the rest of the men, but
sat up alone. When the men arose
they called for Bristol in his room, but
as he did not appear, they thought he
had gone out to the barn. Not find
ing him there, they made a search of
the premises, but could dot find him.
They found, however, that Mr.. Og-
den's best dress suit, overcoat and
boots were gone, together with some
of the dress-up clothing of the other
men. Bristols old clothes were found
lying in heap near where he had
stolen the other clothing. The sto-
len articles amount in value to over
$50. No money was taken, and as he
had only about So, it is not likely he
has gone far.
In appearance Bristol is rather
shos6 man, crooked nose. and has a
lameness in his hip, which interferes
with his walking. Officers are on the
alert, and he may yet be landed in the
county Jail.

The rumors of railroads have again
died out. Is history to repeat
itself? Those who have seemed
particularly interested in the new ven
ture have become dormant, and it
seems as if it was to be about the same
old story. No end of properties have
been bought for one dollar for sixty
days, but it would not be surprising if
the dollar was forfeited and the bar
gain given up. Of course matters may
be much nearer a consummation than
we think.

SILVER WEDDING.
A Happy Gathering at the Resi-
dence of Henry Veale,
Last Night.

One hundred invitations were issued
for the Silver Wedding of Mr. and Mrs.
Henry Veale. About that many people
responded and spent a most happy
time. About o'clock on Friday after
noon the visitors commenced to arrive
at the ''Old Oak Farm where Mr..
Veale resides, and it was but short
time ere the capacious house was filled
with most happy assemblage of
people.
Prominent among those present
were Major Moses Veale, Health Officer
of Philadelphia; Hon. Robt. More,
William Rice, J. L. Rice. Joseph A.
Minch, Orestes Cook, Richard More,
Percival Nichols, David Laning, Chas.
Laning, Samuel D. Frazeur. of Colo
RADIO; David Davis, Francis p. Souder,
Ed Shute, Prof. Ames, David M.
Veale, with his five daughters. All
these gentlemen were accompanied by
their wives. Two ladies to one gentle
man was the order of the evening.
Among the first, and perhaps one of
the most important features of the
occasion, was the grand supper which
had been prepared for the happy
guests. The bill of fare was varied,
and the table viands of the first quail
ity. Oysters, chicken, cold meats.
pastry, jellies, cakes, ETC., formed an
important part of the bill. The des-
sert furnished was of most satisfac-
tory kind Fruits nicely arranged by
G. H. Barnes, were greatly appreci-
ated by those present.
One hundred and thirty-eight per-
sons sat around the festive board.
The evening was spent in purely
social manner, the guests being too
thick for any games.
Upon the tables was a great collec-
tion of beautiful presents from the
friends and relatives of the couple
Among them were two Kensington
rugs, 4 silver cake stands, dozen and
a half of silver knives, and l dozen sill
yer forks, 2 berry dishes, celery stand,
2 spoon holders, dozen glasses, bouquet
holders, 2 jelly dishes, berry spoons,
sugar spoons, soup ladies, carving
knife and fork, napkin rings, Smyrna
rug, table linen, etc., etc.
Perhaps the greatest surprise of the
evening to the host was the presenta-
ton to him of fine silver watch by
his many friends. Hon. Robt. More,
in very neat and appropriate speech
presented the watch to Mr.. Veale.
The speech was responded to in feel
ing manner by the recipient. Samuel
D. Frazeur, of Colorado, presented Mr..
Veale with some specimens of silver
ore. Music and singing helped things
along in merry way.
1t was very late hour ere the last
guest bade the host and hostess good
night. The occasion will long be
remembered by every participant.
